Hey there everyone! I finished reading Saramago’s ‘Blindness’ a while ago and… I have to admit that I had to push myself through to finish it, much to the bafflement of many people who consider it a ‘masterpiece’. When I wrote its review, I pointed out how the written style was blocky and nearly a headache to read due to the lack of proper punctuation, paragraphs and so on.
But now I’m sort of curious, what sort of book you thought was ‘overrated’ and why?
Richard Powers’ The Overstory. I was so bored for almost the entire book, and the characters were so plain and caricatured.
Edit: Also completely agree with you on Blindness. I just was not inspired at all.
